Of course, Kace's after thought was incorrect alo, and something that had already been established. "No, humans are safe, very safe in fact."
And alas!...... a correct response was had! "Excellent, Toby!" she announced as he was the first to voice the correct answer, flesh eaters! Lux and Cris both got thumbs up for their support and elaboration, well done. "Now that's exactly it, the Flesh Eating Fir is the most wizard friendly, nay, human and creature friendly flesh eater. It feeds only on its own kind." Which was pretty remarkable, no? Though, she wondered if anybody questioned their diet choice? It could be seen as cannibalistic, she supposed - and it didn't surprise her that Toby thought to ask out loud. "Interesting that you should ask, they typically don't grow in areas that are uninhabited by flesh eaters, and because they have small appetites they may go for weeks without food, in addition to this, their agility allows them to travel considerable distances in search of food."
The Flesh Eating Fir was indeed a sight to behold. It was a stunning tree all its own, but the trinkets and trophies it had collected over time made it something to be admired for sure. "One thing I'd like you all to consider when you leave here today, is that as frightening and harmful as some flesh-eaters may be... they're not all that bad, and at the end of the day, we all have life."
Yes, she was going her flesh-eaters-activist-tree-hugging-thing. "And on that note, you may all be dismissed! Just make sure you stun the Snargaluff on your way out the back door... you won't want it getting its vines wrapped around your person." She indicated to the back door just meters away, where sure enough a Snargaluff was standing guard so to speak. "First and second years, I suggest you team up with an older student to secure your exit." She would be here, of course, but it would be easier this way. OOC: The lesson has finished, make sure you exit the greenhouse in a safe manner via the back exit, if you have any IC questions or want to hang around then feel free to do so. This thread will be closed in approx 48 hours. Leah had kinda guessed that coming. The professor had said unusual and the answer was obviously not animals. Still, that was the only answer Leah could think of at that moment. Aaah, it eats itself! Correction: It eats its own kind. The second year cheered at the professor's words. They were SAFE! And oh, the lesson was finished.
Glad that she had lost no limbs yet, and that she had learned more about flesh-eating plants, Leah picked up her bag and headed to the back door towards the Snargaluff. Then she paused in front of the professor. "Great lesson, Professor Bentley! I was just wondering why a Snargaluff is guarding the door." And blocking her from getting out. |
